New York City is known for high living costs, but this apartment might be worth it. Currently the most expensive rental listing in the city, the full-floor home in The Pierre hotel is located right on the southeast corner of Central Park and will set you back $500,000 a month. It may sound like a lot, but to put it into perspective the penthouse spot in the iconic accommodation was on the market for $63 million in 2014. The residence features rich silk and brocade fabrics, Murano glass chandeliers, a curated art collection, and toiletries by Etro—not to mention 360-degree views of Central Park as well as the rest of the neighborhood. With six bedrooms, six baths, and one half bath, the 4,786-square-foot co-op certainly has plenty of room for a large family. With a short-term commitment, the apartment offers the same luxurious amenities as the five-star hotel, including twice-daily maid service, access to a chauffeur-driven Jaguar XJL, and admission to The Pierre's storied rotunda, which was renovated by AD100 designer Daniel Romualdez.
